Man clocked speeding through country school zone

A man clocked speeding through a school zone at Wandering, 130 kilometres south-east of Perth, has had his car impounded for 28 days.

Police say the motorist was clocked at 97 kilometres per hour on Watts Street near the Wandering Primary School yesterday.

That is two and a half times the legal limit of 40 kmh.

The 40-year-old driver from Cuballing has been charged with reckless driving.

Seargent Daniel Back says it is fortunate no children were injured.

"It's definitely one of the quickest speeds I've had going through a school zone and obviously being a school zone, children are very vulnerable around the schools because they don't act like adults in traffic," he said.
